January/February 2012 Prayer Letter

Great is Thy Faithfulness
Thank the Lord for His mercies that are new every morning and for His great faithfulness that can give such comfort to each child of God. It is wonderful to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” We are so privileged as children of God to have a personal relationship with the Creator of Heaven and earth. Through good times and bad, it is great to know the One who holds tomorrow is the One who holds our hand!

Praises
We had a blessed Christmas being able to share a very special time with family and friends. Also, we were able to begin traveling and visiting churches in the month of January. During the first 2 months of this year, the Lord has allowed us to safely travel to and present the work in churches in: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and North Carolina. We are headed to Florida for the final Sunday this month. Thank you for your prayers for our safety.

News
We recently found out that the baby we are expecting in May is a little girl! The Lord has blessed us with three little boys, and we are so excited to add a little sister to the bunch. Please pray for health for both Sara and little Lydia in the months ahead.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Ps. 127:3

Blessing
I am always grateful for the opportunity to share the plan of salvation. In a Sunday morning service at a supporting church in Ohio this month, I had the opportunity to deal with a young man who raised his hand for salvation. His name is Chris, and it was his first time at the church. He told me that he had lived a hard life, and that no matter how hard he tried to live a good life, he just could not do it. I explained to Him that true happiness is only found in a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He wept as I shared verses with him about Jesus’ love and care for him. In the end, he said that he was hearing all of these things for the first time and wanted to study them out and come back to church in order to learn more. Please pray that Chris would trust Christ as his Savior very soon!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We could not do what we do without you!
In Christ,
Robert, Sara, Josiah, Caleb, & Joshua Stover
